According to a new study in the journal Nature Communications, the development of natural habitat for agriculture and urbanization, as well as the transformation of habitat caused by climate change, are “major causes of the decline in range sizes, and two of the most important threats to global terrestrial biodiversity.”
Why This Matters: Food production processes emit lots of carbon, and now we see that food production also drives loss of habitat and thus species’ extinction.
